SABER PARA MELHOR SENTIR

Through knowledge comes strength. So for a strong 4-S Club we found you need knowledgeable community volunteer leaders. They should be able to teach the member, first, how to organize and conduct a 4-S Club, and second, how to carry out an individual project. Our task was to train volunteers leaders. To do this we learned how to do method demonstrations, how to use visual aids, how to prepare Brazilians dishes, and about principles of tropical agriculture and much more. Using their jeeps for transportation to the country, PCV’s worked with a long list of 4-S activities and events including picnics, project contests, 4-s fairs, money raising events and recreation.
